I have been using the thermic dryers for many years. I need them as I cannot pull the inner boots out and put them in in the morning without hurting my hands. These dryers are really handy but watch out as the motor's life is not very long.
Either price has come down substantially ( made in China now?) or the price in Toronto is much higher. I must have bought mine about three years ago. I remember I paid 89 dollars plus tax.
